The Crystal Lake Modern Quilt Guild is hosting three block lotteries this year, and the first one takes place in April. We chose the Selvage Spools block from this Riley Blake 2013 Block of the Month program. You can download and print the Riley Blake block directions here, but you'll probably want to keep reading to discover an easier way to make this block. The block is composed of four 6" spools to finish at 12" square (12.5" unfinished). The original pattern uses a template and partial…

Tina Craig of Seaside Stitches in Rhode Island just finished her second selvage quilt, and it's a real beauty! It was inspired by my pattern Button Box, but she gave it a new twist with the on-point layout. The Squares are Kona Tomato. Nice work! *** Tina has noticed that making a selvage quilt somehow doesn't deplete your supply of selvages! I've made a bunch (19?) of selvage quilts and I now have more selvages than ever. How can that be?

I've had so many requests for how I made the selvage spiderweb quilt, I thought I'd do a quick tutorial of how I adapted Bonnie's Quiltville spiderweb tutorial to make my quilt. I'm not going to repeat Bonnie's instructions for how to make the template. You can find her instructions on the Quiltville site. So let's get started. Using Bonnie's instructions you will make your kite templates and cut your paper foundations. You will need just a touch of glue. I use Elmer's washable glue stick. I…

Check out the Great Fabric Sales... Supplies and Patterns! My block is ALL about the Selvage.. do you keep them, toss them, give them away? What about a block for them? now your talking! I have a few tips for successful edge fabric sewing.. read on! I use a 7" x 7" foundation to sew the 6.5" square. Layout the strips in the order you want to sew them. This block I decided to pack in more strips, so they are thinner. I kept at least a 1/2" of the color of the fabric so i had great placement…

There are lots of ideas out there for selvage quilts but I particularly like this one that Gail made and asked me to quilt for her. The grey and white frames give the illusion of spools and make the quilt three dimensional. I just can't stop looking at it, if I ever decide to make

Looking through my photos recently, I realized I'd never blogged about this selvage project which I finished in November 2017. This had been my leaders/enders project for awhile testing sewing machines for Jake after he repairs them. A great way of testing a machine on an actual project when precision isn't required. I cut 5" squares of muslin or leftover light scrap fabric and covered them with the selvages aiming for lighter and darker for every other square. This pattern is in the book…
